Forge crisp, geometric ring shanks and bezels with this 13-inch triangular steel forming mandrel.

What it does

This hardened steel mandrel provides a precise, three-sided form for shaping sheet metal and wire into clean, angular profiles. Its smooth taper allows for controlled expansion and shaping, enabling the creation of sharp, defined edges essential for modern geometric designs. The solid steel construction ensures durability and consistent results when struck or worked with a hammer, making it a reliable tool for consistent output on the bench.

How to use it

  • Secure the mandrel in a vice or clamp.
  • Form metal around the taper to desired shape.
  • Gently tap with a hammer for crisp edges.

Who it's for

This tool is indispensable for UK bench jewellers and silversmiths crafting contemporary geometric rings, pendants, or bezels. It’s ideal for intermediate to professional makers looking to precisely form angular components, replacing the need for complex multi-part construction or less precise shaping methods.

Penelope ★★★★★

That triangular taper from 10mm to 21mm is perfect for sizing rings without guessing—my shanks come out evenly shaped every time. The hardened steel doesn't budge under heavy hammering, which makes forging much more controlled.

Owen P. ★★★★★

The 13-inch length gives me plenty of room to work, and the taper from 10mm to 21mm covers basically every ring size I make. Forming angle stock and heavier sheet on the flat sides feels solid, no flexing at all. My bezels come out with much cleaner corners than they did on my old round mandrel.

Jason ★★★★★

The triangular shape makes it so much easier to get sharp corners on ring shanks than my old round mandrel. Steel feels properly hardened, and the 10–21mm taper covers every size I actually use.
